Last month I read an article about Furusawa of Yamaha visiting Preziosi at Ducati in Italy. Just the sheer fact that the head of Ducati invited the person directly tied to the M1 Yamaha was Hugh!

During there meeting Furusawa mentioned the "Magic Triangle" to Preziosi an imaginary line between both contact points of the tires and the center of gravity....which Furusawa believes to be the problem with the Ducati. This is a great article concentrating on the issues with facts instead of internet hypothisis.

A lot of success in the premier class for a rider is timing ie when the rider shows up in a certain team and how the bike is at that current time. Such as Stoner arriving at Honda right as the bike came good. Thats only one example...Is it possible that Ben and Ianonne are arriving at Ducati at the perfect time....stay tuned motorheads, in 2013 this may not be the Ducati team your used to. Enjoy!!!

I for one am happy that Ben has decided to stick with GP another year. He's had moments of brilliance this year, unfortunately without enough consistency, luck, or the hardware to win. A fresh start with Ducati could be just what "The Doctor" ordered.
